Hello everyone! Today's the day of the big tournament.

First off - There will be no 4v4 version of the tournament. We had individual players sign up, but no actual teams and not enough players to just both make 2 teams to face each other.

Secondly, we had 18 players in total sign up for the 1v1 tournament - Which means there's 9 brackets. The way this will work is that the players from the ninth bracket will be forced through their elimination rounds early. The player from this bracket who wins will play the winner from the 8th bracket. Whoever wins in a match between these two will move on and take the 8th bracket place.
The player in the 9th bracket who loses will move on to play the loser from the 9th bracket. Whoever loses this will be eliminated as normal. However, there will be another match between the loser of 9th's winner vs 8th's winner and the winner of 9th's loser vs 8th's loser. Whoever loses this, will also be eliminated. The winner will proceed through the losers bracket as normal.

I will be adding everyone in the tournament so I can organize when things are happening. If you are acting as a ref, PLEASE message me on steam. Thanks everyone, and enjoy the tournament! (If the matches are being streamed, I will post a new announcement and thread on the GD. Unfortunately, I don't know if they will be yet.)

EDIT: For clarification, the matches will still be split across 2 days. Because the first round will be the largest, the first round will take up the first day. The remaining rounds will happen tomorrow night.

The very first ABBWC will begin on May 23rd, 6PM CST. You can view the brackets for the 1v1 tournament HERE:
